Description

The Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) is a professional who understands the principles of product and service quality evaluation and control. The CQE Body of Knowledge (BoK) and applied technologies include, but are not limited to, development and operation of quality control systems, application and analysis of testing and inspection procedures, the ability to use metrology and statistical methods to diagnose and correct improper quality control practices, an understanding of human factors and motivation, facility with quality cost concepts and techniques, and the knowledge and ability to develop and administer management information systems and to audit quality systems for deficiency identification and correction.

This course covers the point by point BoK and is designed to assist in preparing each student for the ASQ CQE exam. Completion of this course will not guarantee that participants pass the exam but will greatly increase the probability of success in obtaining certification. Exam applications are obtained through ASQ and must be completed and approved on or before the ASQ application deadlines. The application is not available through QSG and the associated costs of the application process are not included in this program.

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for quality engineers, manufacturing/process engineers, quality managers, quality improvement professionals, consultants, or anyone preparing to take the CQE exam.
